In form 1040, What is to be written in the space provided for ITIN while you paper file and attach it with W-7?

Hi, I need to apply ITIN for my son.  My plan is to use Turbo Tax Deluxe Online Tool to prepare the returns but do a paper filing along with ITIN (W7) form. However I am confused how to declare him as dependent in the 1040 Form when he is NOT having the ITIN. Should I follow the technique of writing "Applied For " or "  999-88-9999" in the space meant for ITIN and later white-it-out before mailing the paper copy of the return ? Does this technique still hold good? Please clarify. Thanks
